GNOME supports different dpi per screen just fine under Wayland and 3.24 or newer. The dpi support isn't done yet, they're further improving it so hopefully 3.26 and 3.28 will work better (fractional scaling).

If you have loads of options it can be almost impossible to know the options. Even basic things can be difficult to find. This is usually "solved" by things like an "advanced" button but that means you'll just end u

It relies on various hacky patches to e.g. gtk+2.x. There's an extension to add it to GNOME 3, but it still relies on those patches. Ubuntu planned to remove as many patches as possible. So with the extension and those patches it will

Not just that, also in the case when a big company acquires/merges with another big company. The suggestion to have loads of servers on a private range such as e.g. 10.x.x.x is nice as it should be unique.. until this assumption breaks

You have a tiny systemd library which does little more than checking if systemd is running. It's a helper library for doing that check. Within Devuan they didn't want this dependency, but that's unrelated from being able to u

This doesn't address the point raised. He mentioned that more and more software relies on systemd giving just one example. IMO not much has changed in the last 2 years. Not too much additional software really relies on systemd. Nor tha

Under Debian you can run GNOME under other init systems thanks to Debian+Canonical creating systemd-shim (alternative to logind). Under Devuan you cannot use GNOME (they don't offer it). This as Devuan claims that it is impossible (des

Debian can already run various init systems. E.g. you can run GNOME under sysvinit. Within Devuan they just removed GNOME. If you want init system choice, run Debian (or e.g. Gentoo). Devuan seems more about hating systemd than any actual c

That web runtime doesn't ensure that people have the same experience. You're still relying on the abstractions of that runtime. Plus that there haven't been any changes to it.

Lots of laws are pretty similar. e.g. technically you could steal loads of things. Practically you don't. Defeating/ignoring mechanisms such as robots.txt (vs maybe some security person in a store) still makes stealing not ok.

If a robot misbehaves, it'll either be blocked or it'll go to the networks abuse section and that bot will be taken down. That a site possibly could have some kind of technical solution to this doesn't matter.

That's a nice change of history. Canonical was behind Wayland. They secretly (for 6-9 months) started working on Mir. This while they said they'd do various amount of work on Wayland. Up to that point they publicly said Wayland is
